This course is an optional course for the BSc and BSc (Hons) in Electronics programmes.

Advisory prerequisite(s)

Students are advised to have studied the foundation mathematics course MATH 1220SED or other equivalent level course before studying this course.

Aims

This course aims to:

provide students with basic digital signal processing background and principles such as sampling, quantitation, linear time-invariant (LTI) system, and signal convolution; and, based on this background, help them understand the technique of signal transform between time and frequency domains, as well as concepts related to digital filtering;
provide students with the knowledge they need to apply the digital signal transform and digital filtering techniques to different types of multimedia processing and compression.
develop students' self-learning ability to tackle novel technologies, as well as their multimedia application development and problem-solving skills, based on the digital signal processing and multimedia knowledge acquired in the course.

Contents

This course covers the following topics:

Fundamentals of signal processing
Transform in digital signal processing
Digital filters in signal processing
Data compression
Audio processing
Image and video processing

This course makes use of Octave as a tool to analyse and synthesise signal processing algorithms. In addition, there may be other visualisation and animation tools which will be used to enable students to easily understand the underlying concepts.

Learning support

There will be eight 2-hour face-to-face tutorials and eight 2-hour surgeries.

Assessment

There will be three assignments and a final examination. Students are required to submit assignments via the Online Learning Environment (OLE).

Online requirement

This course is supported by the Online Learning Environment (OLE). You can find the latest course information from the OLE. Through the OLE, you can communicate electronically with your tutor and the Course Coordinator as well as other students. To access the OLE, students will need to have access to the Internet. The use of the OLE is required for the study of this course.

Equipment

A computer is essential for the study of this course. It will be used to run Octave programs and access the Internet. The recommended configuration of the computer system is:

Intel Core i3 or above
Display card and monitor
4 GB RAM
10 GB free hard disk space
Internet access
Mouse and keyboard

Software

Students will need access to a computer with Microsoft Windows 7 or above.
